Chapter 6:

Natsu's Birthday

Lucy Pov.:

*TIME SKIP 10:30am on August 25*

I had been up for two hours, normally I would have left after I got dressed, but since it was Natsu's brithday, I stayed, sat on my couch, and read a book called The Dreaming Princess. This book was about a princess Dai who was put to sleep by evil wizard named Hama. Hama after putting the princess to sleep, he takes her to tower where there was Dragon named Ozuru waits for a knight to defeat him. A prince named Yasuo, is on the quest to save the princes. Just as I'm about to read the part where the prince battles, I heard Natsu wake up and say, "Good Morning, Luce."

I got off the my couch and walked over my desk and pulled out the present.

Then I walked over to my bed and sat next, and I said with a smile, "Good Morning, Natsu! Here you go, Happy Birthday!" Then I handed him the carefully wrapped gift to him and he took it.

When he took the gift, he was shocked and he asked, "How did know today was my birthday?"

"I asked Lisanna," I said looking at him, "When I realized it was going to be the day after we got back from mission, I knew I wanted to buy a birthday present for you. Thats why I didn't and couldn't sleep on the train, I was too excited about what I planned on getting you. As soon I as back, I went and got the gift. I came home, wrapped it, and fell asleep."

"So what did you get me," Natsu asked with his huge trademark grin.

"How about you open the gift and find out," I replied then he pull off the blue bow and ripped throw the wrapping paper.

Natsu Pov.:

After I got the wrapping paper off, I saw a white box. "You got me a box," said I jokingly.

"No, moron, open the box," Lucy replied jokingly in return.

Then I opened box and saw a red dragon that sort of looked like Ingeel. "Thanks Luce," I said to Lucy who smiled kindly at me.

"I knew you would like that," she replied, "I saw the Dragon in the window a few months ago and it made me think of you."

This made me made my smile grow, and I responded, "You didn't you have to get me this. Just being with you on my birthday makes it special."

I looked over at her and I noticed that she was blushing scarlet but she was also smiling. "Hurry up and get dress," Lucy said, "So we can go to the guild and get breakfast." I remember on my last birth when I wasn't a sleep, we were trying to stop Lullaby so I didn't get tell to Lucy that was my birthday.

*Time skip to after Natsu got dress*

"Ready," she asked when she looked up fro book and at me.

"Yap," I replied as I watched Lucy slipped her book into her bag, " So whats the book about?"

"Its a classic Fairy Tale with an evil wizard, a princess, a dragon, and a prince," Lucy told me as we walked out the door, "Its called The Dreaming Princess."

"Umm… Never heard of it," I said after I though about it for a moment.

"Didn't Ingeel tell you any Fairy Tales," Lucy asked.

"Yeah," I replied, "But in the fairy tales he told me where the Dragon get the princess and they lived happily ever after."

Then Lucy giggled and said, "That must be a dragon fairy tale."

"I guess your right," I responded. I guess that makes sense since Igneel was a dragon...

"It okay Natsu, I like that Dragon gets a happily every ever after," Lucy replied as she smiled, giggled, and blushed.

*TIME SKIP 15 minutes later they arrived at the guild*

"Happy Birthday Natsu," Everyone yelled when they realized that Lucy and I had walked into the guild.

"Thanks guys," I replied as I rubbed the back of my head.

"Hey, Natsu," Happy yelled as he flew up to me, "Heres my present!" Then he handed me a fish with a red ribbon tied around it to form a bow.

"Thanks Happy," I replied with a smile and a thumbs up as I took the fish. Then Lucy and I walked to the bar.

"Happy birthday, Natsu," Mira jane said, "Breakfast is on the House today!"

"Thanks Mira," I replied as I sat down to eat.. This one of the many reasons why I like my birthday.

"Happy Birthday, Natsu ," Master Makarov Dreyar said, "Who wants to have party to celebrate our favorite Fire Dragon slayer's birthday?"

"We do," just about everybody yelled in reply.

"Alright, we will have the party tonight," Master Makarov cheered.

*Time Skip to the party*

"Alright, Natsu," Mirajane cheered as she and Lisanna carried in the cake, "All together now!"

"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Natsu, Happy birthday to you," Everyone sang and I watched the flames of the candles move.

"Oh come on Flame Brain! Make a wish," Gray yelled.

"Shut up Ice Head," I yelled then blew out the candles. I wish to that I could find Igneel so he can meet Lucy.

"So Natsu, what did you wish for," Lucy asked.

"I can't tell you or else it won't come true," I replied then I kissed Lucy on her cheek.

*Time skip to after the party and back at Lucy's apartment*

Just before we fell asleep, I heard Lucy whisper, "Good night… Natsu…"

"Good night, Luce," i replied then we both fell asleep. This was the best birthday I had ever. I was with Lucy and I kept her Dragon charm in my pocket. I was the happiest man alive that day. Thank God for birthdays!
